A small plea to customers...

(Sorry. These types of calls seem to come in very large waves, especially on Friday night/Saturday morning. It's kinda depressing... )

Hints:

1. If alcohol is involved, take a friend, not a phone.
2. Don't leave it on a restaurant table where it can be easily snatched. Leave it in a purse or pocket.
3. Consider getting a BluAlert bracelet. (Sold on thinkgeek.com.) Not only do they alert you to calls when your phone is silenced, but they will vibrate if the phone leaves your immediate area.

I hope this doesn't sound too "Well, duh!"-ish. Just trying to be helpful.

Standard, but always solid advice. Happens way too often though..

I've lost count on how many times my mind has said "Doh!" Listening to some people's stories.. What can you do though, except to try and recitify the situation.

I have never heard of this bluealert bracelet thing but it sounds a tad overboard lol but I know what its like to lose a phone, I never wanna go there again lol

They're actually kinda neat, if a little finicky to get setup. I used one to get myself out of the habit of leaving my phone on vibrate after work.

(Quick warning, though: they arrive sized for the wrists of Shaq and you have to mod 'em a little to get them to fit. If you've ever changed a watchband, it's cake, and there's already holes for the watchband pins but you will need a sharp knife.)

Ordered one a couple weeks ago. It is really good at reminding me that I left my phone on my desk. It is a nice piece and draws questions as to the nice bracelet I am wearing. My only problem is I now need something to tell me I left the bracelet on the nightstand.

Always buy insurance too. It is not our responsibility to replace your phone if you lose, break, or have it stolen. Also don't lie about having insurance if you don't. I love the typical, "well I SHOULD have it on there" comment when you know good and well you were too cheap to buy it when you got your phone.
